Jeremiah 5:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Be forewarned that I will bring against you
    a nation from a great distance,
    O house of Israel, says the Lord—
a long-existent nation,
    a nation founded long ago,
a people whose language you do not know
    and whose speech you cannot understand.
¹⁶ The quivers of these people are like open graves;
    all of them are mighty warriors.
¹⁷ They will devour your harvest and your food,
    they will devour your sons and your daughters;
they will devour your flocks and your herds,
    they will devour your vines and your fig trees;
with their swords they will destroy
    your fortified towns in which you place your trust.
